A Strange RetributionHenri
l)u Uarre, a young French nit'st,
became enamored of tin* only daughter of
u well-to do (ttibrrr/isfi:, in the town Carcaspono.
itt the south of France. Lucille
Montaigne had beauty and money, and
Henri Du Harrc had wit and talent ; but
these latter were no fair equivalent for the
former in the eyes of the purse-proud father,
who declared that 110 daughter of his
should marry a poor man, though he were
blessed with tlie u-isulmn ?>f n >4..1..?> <>!?
Now Lucille loved llenr' Hut flic was
too prudent to elope with and risk dis
inheritance; for, after ., .. uat was low {
without li.oney??poverty, coming in at
tdoor, would .send it Hying through tlie
window.
l'oor Henri \vaJ? iu despair. lie really
did love Lucille, whether she did him or
not?loved her madly; and his was one of
those dark, fiery natures which make love
u wild, terrible passion.
IIow much money was necessary to make
him her equal in the eyes of her worldly
father? 'Hie amhrrgistv named the sum..
It was larg.' and Henri sighed, and felt
more despair at his heart than ever. Suddenly
lie brightened up with the recolloc.
tion that he had youth and genius, and that
in some largo city, l'aria perhaps, whore
ihf latter wouKI bo appreciated, lie might
acquire both fortune and tame.
But would Lucille wait ??Well, Lucille
was willing to wait awhile?for just then,
as she admitted to herself, she could think
of no one she liked better than the poor artist;
but everything earthly must have a
limit, and tlie fair coquette thought her patience
oughrnot to extend beyond a year.
A year is a very short time for a man to
acquire fame and fortune, with the latter
depending on the former; but Henri was
young, and youth is sanguine, si'.d at all
events lie would 'make a trial, hoping great
tbines, aiul knmvim* Im mnlil >!< > ><? wnivn
than tail.
So lie finished lii.s engagements hurried1
y, declined any new one#, sold the few
pictures on hand, for :t moderate sum,'gathered
his scanty effects, hade his friends and
Lucille adieu, and, with a hopeful hut heavy
heart, set oft' for the great metropolis of
France.
It was a long long journey from Carcr.s- j
F.onc to l'arisy in the slow conveyances of
the period when Jienri Du IJurrc jnade it ;
and it was nearly two weeks before he reached
the gay capital. And then began his
struggles with poverty; which clung to
him, in spite of his hopes, his exertions
aad his prayer? for six weary months;
*** ' when lie gave up in despair, secretly left
the city, to beg his way back to Careassone,
to see his Lucille once more, bid her
an eternal adieu, nml r>nil n lif<? n<-? l?.n< ?<>?
of any value toils possessor.
Henri lhi Harre set out from Paris afoot
and alone, depending solely upon charity
of French peasants for food and lodging,
lie had six sous in his pocket when lie
htarted, and these he invented in a deadly
poison, which he carried as a denier resort,
determined not to suffer beyond what
uiiiitic rcasunauiv near, out wincii
,it was his hope to retain till ho hud again
r.een Lucille.
In this manner ho reached and passed
through Lyons. foot-sore, ragged, and disheartened?an
object indeed for commiseration.
Twenty leagues beyond Lyon's, in
passing through a long, dark lonely wood,
lie met a Jew carrying a heavy pack 011 his
back: The poor artist asked the Israelite
for charity; his appeal was answered with
a few coins, for which he thanked the givr
or, and then offered to carry his pack for
/ ' I him.
/ I " Oh, no?itis nothing?it is nothing?
( | a few old clothes only 1" returned the .lew.
hurriedly?so hurriedly, and with such evident
uneasiness, in fact so as to awaken
suspicion in the mind of the young artist
tiha.Jt it contained something of great vhIiic.
Then it was that a wild, vague, ftrtdefinV
ed desire to possess it first took possession
?>f the ninn who was now going home to
die wretchedly, hut whom two thousand
iVartcs yet bless with life and hanoincss.?
When tlio mind of man taken a highly
criminal bent, it seems as if sonic evil demon
whispers in liiu car the most plausible
reasons for a wickcd course to happiness.
Henri Du Bari*o, who had never bofore
thought of harming a human being, now
glanced furtively aWishiidcforingly around
ftfirr, vMh the dark and wicked thought in
liia brain, that if this old roan were dead,
and he possessor of his pack, he inightyot
have a bright and glorious future. It was
a dreary, dismal spot in the thick wood
where they both stood, and no human eyo

What mattered a few years, more or less,

And why should he, the poor, miserable ar-'

life when necessary to sustain their own ?

The .Jow had bidden Vim pood day, and
was trudging onward, nt a slow, steady
pace, while these wild, wicked thoughts
i were coursing through the brain of the
j other, with all the plausibility of tin.h.
I Suddenly the .Jew stopped, produced a little
flask, and raised it to his lips. Ah !
| that flask The devil was tempting young
! Du lhirre to crime, and here was the opi
portunity.
! " My good friend," called the artist to
the Jew, i% I am very faint; will you give
I nic a few drops of that wine?"
"I will give you half," t?aid the Israelite
; halting.
The artist advanced tremulously, produced
the poison, and oonecalod it in liis hand
as he npproached his victim, and, under
pretonceof wiping the mouth of the flask,
dropped it in. Then ho protended todrink,
I and handed it back with thanks, t ring

writhing in the agonies of death and groan |

Suddenly iie heard a clink as of money.

In duo tini(5 Henri l)u Barro married
Lucille Montaigne, and happy were "all at

was never to know happing* again. lie
k'-pt his secret, however, and profited by

Hut the' romciubranec of his crime had
a strange fascination fur him, ami much of
liis time was spent in brooding over it in
i secret.
I Being an artist, lie at length naturally
I-conceived the idea of paintmg the sei ne
of the murder; and he finally drew it in
j miniature, on ivory, picturing himself in
(he act of dragging tho dead body of the
Jew into the forest, whoso features, from
lireuiory only, he delineated with wonderful
fidelity. . And as if tliis were not
j enough to satisfy his niorhid infatuation,
I lie wrote underneath ! " Isaac, a Jew, niur|
dered by Henri l>u Ihirre, Artist, September
the tenth, in a dark wood, about twen1

j carried it in a belt nround his waist.
I$ut the strangest part of this horribli
J affair is yet to be told. On liis last visil
to the forest, for the last jewel thit yet re
niained of the proceed.-) of his awful crime
ho was shot dead by a highwaymen, who 01
searching his person, found the minaturc
and recognized in the features of the mur
defect Jew?his own father.
This produced so strange an imprcssiot
j upon Jlio Second mtorderor, (lint ho c:irrict

rough invest!' itidii took place; and among

taining the statement of the whole trans
action, as wc have here recorded it.
The second murderer, the son of tlx
